This Workshop Manual covers the Land Rover Ninety and One Ten range of vehicles. It is primarily designed to
assist skilled technicians in the efficient repair and maintenance of Land Rover vehicles.
Using the appropriate service tools and carrying out the procedures as detailed will enable the operations to be
completed within t h e time stated in the 'Repair Operation Times'.

The Manual has been produced in separate books; this allows the information to be distributed throughout the
specialist areas of the modern service facility.
A table of contents in Book 1 lists the major components and systems together with the section and book numbers.
The cover of each book details the sections contained within that book.

The title page of each book carries the part numbers required to order replacement books, binders or complete
Service Manuals. This can be done through the normal channels.

REFERENCES
References to the left- or right-hand side in the manual are made when viewing the vehicle from the rear. With the
engine and gearbox assembly removed, the water pump end of the engine is referred to as the front.
To reduce repetition, operations covered in this manual do not include reference to testing the vehicle after repair. It
is essential that work is inspected and tested after completion and if necessary a road test of the vehicle is carried out
particularly where safety related items are concerned.

DIMENSIONS
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering specification. Alternative unit equivalents, shown in brackets
following the dimensions, have been converted from the original specification.
During the period of running-in from new, certain adjustments may vary from the specification figures given in this
Manual. These adjustments will be re-set by the Distributor or Dealer at the After Sales Service, and thereafter
should be maintained at the figures specified in the Manual.

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS


When replacement parts are required it is essential that only Land Rover parts are used.
Attention is particularly drawn to the following points concerning repairs and the fitting o f replacement parts and
accessories:
Safety features embodied in the vehicle may be impaired if other than Land Rover parts are fitted. In certain
territories, legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to the vehicle manufacturer's specification. Torque wrench
setting figures given in the Repair Operation Manual must bc strictly adhered to. Locking devices, where specified,
must be fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired during removal it must be renewed. Owners
purchasing accessories while travelling abroad should ensure that the accessory and its fitted location on the vehicle
conform to mandatory requirements existing in their country of origin. The terms of the Owners Service Statement
may be invalidated by the fitting of other than Land Rover parts.
A11 Land Rover parts have the full backing of the Owners Service Statement.
Land Rover Distributors and Dealers are obliged to supply only Land Rover service parts.

POISONOUS SUBSTANCES
Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should under no circumstances be
consumed and should as far as possible be kept away from open wounds. These substances among others include
antifreeze, brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

FUEL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS


The following information provides basic precautions which must be observed if petrol (gasoline) is to be handled
safely. It also outlines the other areas of risk which must not be ignored.
This information is issued for basic guidance only, and in any case of doubt appropriate enquiries should be made of
your local Fire Officer.

GENERAL
. ..
. ....

Petrol/gasoline vapour is highly flammable and in confined spaces is also very explosive and toxic.
When petroI/gasoline evaporates it produces 150 times its own volume in vapour, which when diluted with air
becomes a readily ignitable mixture. The vapour is heavier than air and will always fall to the lowest level. It can
readily be distributed throughout a workshop by air current, consequently, even a small spillage of petrol/gasoline is
potentially very dangerous.
3

lo1I
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM CO? GAS, o r POWDER close at hand when handling or draining
fuel, o r when dismantling fuel systems and in areas whcre fuel containers are stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery BEFORE carrying out dismantling or draining work on a fuel system.
Whenever petroVgasoline is being handled, drained or stored, o r when fuel systems are being dismantled all forms of
ignition must be extinguished or removed, any hcad-lamps used must be flameproof and kept clear of spillage.

NO O N E SHOULD BE PERMITTED T O REPAIR COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH PETROL/


GASOLINE WITHOUT FIRST HAVING H A D SPECIALIST TRAINING.

FUEL TANK DRAINING


WARNING: PETROL/GASOLINE MUST NOT BE EXTRACTED OR DRAINED FROM ANY VEHICLE WHILST
IT IS STANDING OVER A PIT.

Draining or extracting petrol/gasoline from vehicle fuel tank must be carried out in a well ventilated area.
The receptacle used to contain the petroVgasoline must be more than adequate for the full amount of fuel to be
extracted or drained. The receptacle should be clearly marked with its contents, and placed in a safe storage area
which meets the requirements of local authority regulations.
WHEN PETROWGASOLINE HAS BEEN EXTRACTED O R DRAINED FROM A FUEL TANK THE
PRECAUTIONS GOVERNING NAKED LIGHTS AND IGNITION SOURCES SHOULD BE MAINTAINED.

FUEL TANK REMOVAL


On vehicles where the fuel line is secured to the fuel tank outlet by a spring steel clip, it is recommended that such
clips are released before the fuel line is disconnected or the fuel tank unit is removed. This procedure will avoid the
possibility of residual petrol fumes in the fuel tank being ignited when the clips are released.
As an added precaution fuel tanks should have a PETROUGASOLINE VAPOUR warning label attached to them
as soon as they are removed from the vehicle.

FUEL TANK REPAIR


Under no circumstances should a repair to any tank involving heat treatment be carried out without first rendering
the tank SAFE, by using one of the following methods:
STEAMING: With the filler cap and tank unit removed, empty the tank. Steam the tank for at least two hours
with low pressure steam. Position the tank so that condensation can drain away freely, ensuring that any
sediment and sludge not volatised by the steam, is washed out during the steaming process.
BOILING: With the filler cap and tank unit removed, empty the tank. Immerse the tank completely in boiling
water containing an effective alkaline degreasing agent or a detergent, with t h e water filling and also
surrounding the tank for at least two hours.
After steaming o r boiling a signed and dated label to this effect should be attached to the tank

SPECIFICATION
Purchasers arc advised that the specification details set out in this Manual apply to a rangc of vehicles and not to any
one. For the specification of a particular vehicle, purchasers should consult their Distributor o r Dealer.
The Manufacturers reserve thc right to vary their specifications with or without notice, and at such times and in such
manner as they think fit. Major as well as minor changes may be involved in accordance with the Manufacturer's
policy of constant product improvement.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the particulars contained in this Manual, neither the
Manufacturer nor the Distributor or Dealer, by whom this Manual is supplied, shall in any circumstances be held

Special Service Tools


The use of approved special service tools is important. They are essential if service operations
are to be carried out efficiently, and safely. The amount of time which they save can be
considerable.
Every special tool is designed with the close co-operation of Land Rover Ltd., and no tool is
put into production which has not been tested and approved by us. New tools are only
introduced where an operation cannot be satisfactorily carried out using existing tools or
standard equipment. The user is therefore assured that the tool is necessary and that it will
perform accurately, efficiently and safely.
Special tools bulletins will be issued periodically giving details of new tools as they are
introduced.

All orders and enquiries from the United Kingdom should be sent direct to V. L. Churchill.
Overseas orders should be placed with the local V. L. Churchill distributor, where one exists.
Countfies where there is no distributor may order direct from V. L. Churchill Limited. P.O.
Box 3, Daventry, Northamptonshire, England N N l l 4NF.
The tools recommended in this Workshop Manual are listed in a multi-language, illustrated catalogue obtainable
from Messrs. V. L. Churchill at the above address under publication number 2217/2/84 or from Land Rover Ltd.,
under part number LSM0052TC from thc following address, Land Rover Limited, Service Department, Lode Lane,

GENERAL SPECIFICATION DATA


VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD

Payload figures quoted in the accompanying table are nominal values for a base specification vehicle and will in
general represent the maximum, as any options or extras fitted to the vehicle will increase its unladen weight and
hence decrease its allowable payload.
When loading a vehicle to its maximum (Gross Vehicle Weight), consideration must be taken of the unladen vehicle
weight and the distribution of the payload to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted maximum values.
It is the customers responsibility to limit the vehicles payload in an appropriate manner such that neither maximum
axle loads nor Gross Vehicle Weight are exceeded.

GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS


PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGE

1. Always fit covers to protect wings before


commencing work in engine compartment.
2. Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls and
wash hands or wear gloves before working inside
car.
3. Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid or battery acid on
paint work. Wash off with water immediately if this
occurs. Use Polythene sheets in boot to protect
carpets.
4. Always use a recommended Service Tool, or a
satisfactory equivalent, where specified.
5. Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1: Whenever possible use a ramp or pit when working


beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying hand brake.
2. Never rely on a jack alone to support vehicle. Use
axle stands or blocks carefully placed at jacking
points to provide rigid location.
3 . Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is
conveniently located.
4. Check that any lifting equipment uscd has
adequate capacity and is fully serviceable.
5. Inspect power leads of any mains electrical
equipment for damage and check that it is properly
earthed.
6 . Disconnect earth (grounded) terminal of vehicle
battery.
7. Do not disconnect any pipes in air conditioning
refrigeration system, if fitted, unless trained and
instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used which can
cause blindness if allowed to contact eyes.
8. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided when
volatile degreasing agents are being used.
WARNING: Fume extraction equipment must be in
operation when trachloride, methylene chloride,
chloroform or perchlorethylene are used for
cleaning purposes.

9. Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff nuts or


fittings; as well as causing damage to protective
coatings, there is a risk of damage to electronic
equipment and brake lines from stray heat.
10. Do not leave tools, equipment, spilt oil etc.,
around or on work area.
11. Wear protective overalls and use barrier creams
when necessary.

PREPARATION
1. Before removing a component, clean it and its
surrounding areas as thoroughly as possible.
2. Blank off any openings exposed by component
removal, using greaseproof paper and masking
tape.
3 . Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when
separated, using plastic caps or plugs, to prevent
loss of fluid and entry of dirt.
4. Close open ends of oilways, exposed by component
removal, with tapered hardwood plugs or readily
visible plastic plugs.
5. Immediately a component is removed, place it in a
suitable container; use a separate container for
each component and its associated parts.
6. Before dismantling a component, clean it
thoroughly with a recommended cleaning agent;
check that agent is suitable for all materials of
component.
7 . Clean bench and provide marking materials,
labels, containers and locking wire before
dismantling a component.
DISMANTLING

1. Observe scrupulous cleanliness when dismantling


components, particularly when brake, fuel or
hydraulic system parts are being worked on. A
particle of dirt or a cloth fragment could cause a
dangerous malfunction if trapped in these systems.
2. Blow out all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and
fluid passages with an air line. Ensure that any
0-rings used for sealing are correctly replaced or
renewed, if disturbed.
3. Mark mating parts to ensure that they are replaced
as dismantled. Whenever possible use marking ink,
which avoids possibilities of distortion or initiation
of cracks, liable if centre punch or scriber are used.
4. Wire together mating parts where necessary to
prevent accidental interchange (e.g. roller bearing
components).
5. Wire labels on to all parts which are to be renewed,
and to parts requiring further inspection before
being passed for reassembly; place these parts in
separate containers from those containing parts for
rebuild.
6. Do not discard a part due for renewal until after
comparing it with a new part, to ensure that its
correct replacement has been obtained.

GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

INSPECTION -GENERAL

1. Never inspect a component for wear or


dimensional check unless it is absolutely clean; a
slight smear of grease can conceal an incipient
failure.
2. When a component is to be checked dimensionally
against figures quoted for it, use correct equipment
(surface plates, micrometers, dial gauges, etc.) in
serviceable
condition.
Makeshift
checking
equipment can be dangerous.
3. Reject a component if its dimensions are outside
limits quoted, or if damage is apparent. A part
may, however, be refitted if its critical dimension is
exactIy limit size, and is otherwise satisfactory.
4. Use Plastigauge 12 Type PG-1 for checking
bearing surface clearances; directions for its use,
and a scale giving bearing clearances in 0,0025 mm
(0.0001 in) steps are provided with it.
BALL AND ROLLER BEARINGS

NEVER REPLACE A BALL OR ROLLER


BEARING WITHOUT FIRST ENSURING T H A T
IT IS IN AS-NEW CONDITION.
1. Remove all traces of lubricant from bearing under
inspection by washing in petrol or a suitable
degreaser;
maintain
absolute
cleanliness
throughout operations.
2. Inspect visually for markings of any form on rolling
elements, raceways, outer surface of outer rings or
inner surface of inner rings. Reject any bearings
found to be marked, since any marking in these
areas indicates onset of wear.
3. Holding inner race between finger and thumb of
one hand, spin outer race and check that it revolves
absolutely smoothly. Repeat, holding outer race
and spinning inner race.
4. Rotate outer ring gently with a reciprocating
motion, while holding inner ring; feel for any check
or obstruction to rotation, and reject bearing if
action is not perfectly smooth.
5. Lubricate bearing generously with lubricant
appropriate to installation.
6 . Inspect shaft and bearing housing for
discolouration or other marking suggesting that
movement has taken place between bearing and
seatings. (This is particularly to be expected if
related markings were found in operation 2.) If
markings are found, use Loctite in installation of
replacement bearing.
7. Ensure that shaft and housing are clean and free
from burrs before fitting bearing.
8. If one bearing of a pair shows an imperfection it is
generally advisable to renew both bearings: an
exception could be made if the faulty bearing had
covered a low mileage, and it could be established
that damage was confined to it only.

9. When fitting bearing to shaft, apply force only to


inner ring of bearing, and only to outer ring when
fitting into housing.

U
\

ST1042M

10. In the case of grease-lubricated bearings (e.g. hub


bearings) fill space between bearing and outer seal
with recommended grade of grease before fitting
seal.
11. Always mark components of separable bearings
(e.g. taper roller bearings) in dismantling, to
ensure correct reassembly. Never fit new rollers in
a used cup.

OIL SEALS

1. Always fit new oil seals when rebuilding an


assembly. It is not physically possible to replace a
seal exactly when it has bedded down.
2. Carefully examine seal before fitting to ensure that
it is clean and undamaged.
3. Smear sealing lips with clean grease; pack dust
excluder seals with grease, and heavily grease
duplex seals in cavity between sealing lips.
4. Ensure that seal spring, if provided, is correctly
fitted.
5. Place lip of seal towards fluid t o be sealed and slide
into position on shaft, using fitting sleeve when
possible to protect sealing lip from damage by
sharp corners, threads or splines. If fitting sleeve is
not available, use plastic tube or adhesive tape to
prevent damage to sealing lip.

6 . Grease outside diameter of seal, place square to


housing recess and press into position, using great
care and if possible a bell piece to ensure that seal
is not tilted. (In some cases it may be preferable to
fit seal to housing before fitting to shaft.) Never let
weight of unsupported shaft rest in seal.

ST1037M

7. If correct service tool is not available, use a suitable


drift approximately 0,4 mm (0.015 in) smaller than
outside diameter of seal. Use a hammer VERY
GENTLY on drift if a press is not suitable.
8. Press or drift seal in to depth of housing if housing
is shouldered, or flush with face of housing where
no shoulder is provided. Ensure that the seal does
not enter the housing in a tilted position.
NOTE: Most cases of failure or leakage of oil seals
are due to careless fitting, and resulting damage to
both seals and sealing surfaces. Care in fitting is
essential if good results are to be obtained.

JOINTS AND JOINT FACES


1. Always use correct gaskets where they are
spccificd.
2. Use jointing compound only when recommended.
Otherwise fit joints dry.
3. When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take great care to
prevent it from entering oilways, pipes or blind
tapped holes.
4. Remove all traces of old jointing materials prior to
reassembly. Do not use a tool which could damage
joint faces.
5 . Inspect joint faces for scratches or burrs and
remove with a fine file or oil stone; do not allow
swarf or dirt to enter tapped holes or enclosed
parts.
6 . Blow out any pipes, channels or crevices with
compressed air, renewing any 0-rings or seals
displaced by air blast.

FLEXIBLE HYDRAULIC PIPES, HOSES

1. Before removing any brake or power steering hose,


clean end fittings and area surrounding them as
thoroughly as possible.
2. Obtain appropriate blanking caps before detaching
hose end fittings, so that ports can be immediately
covered to exclude dirt.
3. Clean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation of
plies, security of end fittings and external damage.
Reject any hose found faulty.
4. When refitting hose, ensure that no unnecessary
bends are introduced, and that hose is not twisted
before or during tightening of union nuts.
5. Containers for hydraulic fluid must be kept
absolutely clean.
6. Do not store hydraulic fluid in an unsealed
container. It will absorb water, and fluid in this
condition would be dangerous to use due to a
lowering of its boiling point.
7. Do not allow hydraulic fluid to be contaminated
with mineral oil, or use a container which has
previously contained mineral oil.
8. Do not re-use fluid bled from system.
9. Always use clean brake fluid to clean hydraulic
components.
10. Fit a blanking cap to a hydraulic union and a plug
to its socket after removal to prevent ingress of
dirt.
11. Absolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
12. After any work on hydraulic systems, inspect
carefully for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum pressure to the
brakes (engine running) and operates the steering.
METRIC BOLT IDENTIFICATION

1. An I S 0 metric bolt or screw, made of steel and


larger than 6 mm in diameter can be identified by
either of the symbols I S 0 M or M embossed or
indented on top of the head.
2. In addition to marks to identify the manufacture,
the head is also marked with symbols to indicate
the strength grade e.g. 8.8, 10.9, 12.9 or 14.9,
where the first figure gives the minimum tensile
strength of the bolt material in tens of kg/sq mm.
3. Zinc plated I S 0 metric bolts and nuts are chromate
passivated, a greenish-khaki to gold-bronze colour.

ST1035M

METRIC NUT IDENTIFICATION

1. A nut with an I S 0 metric thread is marked on one


face or on one of the flats of the hexagon with the
strength grade symbol 8 , 1 2 or 14. Some nuts with a
strength 4, 5 or 6 are also marked and some have
the metric symbol M on the flat opposite the
strength grade marking.
2 A clock face system is used as an alternative
method of indicating the strength grade. The
external chamfers o r a face of the nut is marked in
a position relative to the appropriate hour mark on
a clock face to indicate the strength grade.
3. A dot is used to locate the 12 o'clock position and a
dash to indicate the strength grade. If the grade is
above 12, two dots identify the 12 o'clock position.

STl036M

HYDRAULIC FITTINGS -Metrication


WARNING: Metric and Unified threaded hydraulic
parts. Although pipe connections to brake system units
incorporate threads of metric form, those for power
assisted steering are of UNF type. It is vitally important
that these two thread forms are not confused, and
careful study should be made of the following notes.

Metric threads and metric sizes are being introduced


into motor vehicle manufacture and some duplication
of parts must be expected. Although standardisation
must in the long run be good, it would be wrong not to
give warning of the dangers that exist while UNF and
metric threaded hydraulic parts continue together in
service. Fitting UNF pipe nuts into metric ports and
vice-versa should not happen, but experience of the
change from BSF to UNF indicated that there is no
certainty in relying upon the difference in thread size
when safety is involved.
To provide permanent identification of metric parts is
easy hut recognitinn has been assistpd h\r
" J the
following means. (Illustration A Metric, B Unified.)
1. All metric pipe nuts, hose ends, unions and bleed
screws are coloured black.
2. The hexagon area of pipe nuts is indented with the
letter 'M'.
3. Metric and UNF pipe nuts are slightly different in
shape.
4

ST1033M

ST1034M

The metric female nut is always used with a trumpet


flared pipe and the metric male nut is always used with
a convex flared pipe.
4. AI1 metric ports in cylinders and calipers have no
counterbores, but unfortunately a few cylinders
with UNF threads also have no counterbore. The
situation is, all ports with counterbores are UNF,
but ports not counterbored are most likely to be
metric.
5. The colour of the protective plugs in hydraulic
ports indicates the size and the type of the threads,
but the function of the plugs is protcctive and not
designed as positive identification. In production it
is difficult to use the wrong plug but human error
must be taken into account.
The Plug colours and thread sizes are:
UNF
iinx24UNF
RED
GREEN 6 in x 20 UNF
YELLOW 4 in x 20 UNF
PINK
B in x 18 U N F
METRIC
BLACK 1Ox 1 mm
GREY
1 2 x 1 mm
BROWN 14 x 1,5 mm
6. Hose ends differ slightly between metric and UNF.
Gaskets are not used with metric hoses. The UNF
hose is sealed on the cylinder or caliper face by a
copper gasket by the metric hose seals against the
bottom of the port and there is a gap between faces
of the hose and cylinder.
Pipe sizes for UNF are & in, in and & in outside
diameter.
Metric pipe
. . sizes are 4,75 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm.
4,75 mm pipe is exactly the same as
in pipe.
6 mm pipe is 0.014 in smaller than i in pipe. 8 mm
-.
pipe is 0.002 in larger than & in pipe.
Convex pipe flares are shaped differently for
metric sizes and when making pipes for metric
equipment, metric pipe flaring tools must be used.

NUTS

ST1032M

The greatest danger lies with the confusion of


10 mm and 2 in UNF pipe nuts used for
in (or
4,75 mm) pipe. The 3 in UNF pipe nut or hose can
be screwed into a 10 mm port but is very slack and
easily stripped. The thread engagement is very
weak and cannot provide an adequate seal.
The opposite condition, a 10 mm nut in a in port,
is difficult and unlikely to cause trouble. The 10 mm
nut will screw in 1; or 2 turns and seize. It has a
crossed thread feel and it is impossible to force the
nut far enough to seal the pipe. With female pipe
nuts the position is of course reversed.
The other combinations are so different that there is
no danger of confusion.

KEYS AND KEYWAYS


1. Remove burrs from edges of keyways with a fine
file and clean thoroughly before attempting to refit
key.
2. Clean and inspect key closely; keys are suitable for
refitting only if indistinguishable from new, as any
indentation may indicate the onset of wear.

TAB WASHERS
1. Fit new washers in all places where they are used.
Always renew a used tab washer.
2. Ensure that the new tab washer is of the same
design as that replaced.

SPLIT PINS

. .....::.
.;a .... ., .
7:

1. Fit new split pins throughout when replacing any


unit.
2. Always fit split pins where split pins were originally
used. Do not substitute spring washers: there is
always a good reason for the use of a split pin.
3. All split pins should be fitted as shown unless
otherwise stated.

1. When tightening a slotted or castellated nut never


slacken it back to insert split pin or locking wire
except in those recommended cases where this
forms part of an adjustment. If difficulty is
experienced, alternative washers or nuts should be
selected, or washer thickness reduced.
2. Where self-locking nuts have been removed it is
advisable to replace them with new ones of the
same type.

NOTE: Where bearing pre-load is involved nuts


should be tightened in accordance with special
instructions.
LOCKING WIRE
1. Fit new locking wire of the correct type for all
assemblies incorporating it.
2. Arrange wire so that its tension tends to tighten the
bolt heads, or nuts, to which it is fitted.
SCREW THREADS
1. Both UNF and Metric threads to I S 0 standards are
used. See below for thread identification.
2. Damaged thrcads must always be discarded.
Cleaning up threads with a die or tap impairs the
strength and closeness of fit of the threads and is
not recommcndcd.
3. Always ensure that replacement bolts are at least
equal in strength to those rcplaced.
4. Do not allow oil, grease or jointing compound to
enter blind threaded holes. The hydraulic action on
screwing in the bolt or stud could split the housing.
5 . Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended
torque figure. Damaged or corroded threads can
affect the torque reading.
6 . To check or re-tighten a bolt or screw to a specified
torque figure, first slacken a quarter of a turn, then
re-tighten to the correct figure.
7. Always oil thread lightly before tightening to
ensure a free running thread, except in the case of
self-locking nuts.

1071

GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

UNIFIED THREAD IDENTIFICATION

1. Bolts
A circular recess is stamped in the upper surface of
the bolt head.
2. Nuts
A continuous line of circles is indented on one of
the flats of the hexagon, parallel to the axis of the
nut.
3. Studs, Brake Rods, etc.
The component is reduced to the core diameter for
a short length at its extremity.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
Revised Maintenance Schedules are introduced with the commencement of the Land Rover Ninety V8 model range.
The new schedules also apply to four-cylinder, petrol and diesel models, and feature a reduced 10.000 km
(6,000 miles) service. The new schedules supersede previous issues.
Efficient maintenance is one of the biggest factors in ensuring continuing reliability and efficiency. For this reason
the following detailed schedules are included so that at the appropriate intervals owners and operators may know
what is required. The Maintenance Schedules are based upon intervals of 10.000 km (6,000 miles) or 6 months
unless otherwise stated.
Note: The 10.000 km service must be repeated every 10.000 km (6,000 miles) or six months, whichever is first.
The 20.000 km service must be repeated every 20.000 km (12.000 miles) or 12 months, whichever is first, with
additional maintenance at the intervals specified in the schedule.

WARNING: Two-wheel roller tests must be restricted to 5 k d h (3 m.p.h.) because the Land Rover One Ten and
Ninety is is constant four-wheel drive.
At 100.000 km (60?000 mile) intervals it is imperative that the camshaft drive belt be renewed, failure to do so
could result in serious engine damage.
RECOMMENDATIONS
At 30.000 km (18,000 mile) intervals or every 18 months, whichevcr is the sooner, the hydraulic brake fluid should
be completely renewed.
At 40.000 km (24,000 mile) intervals remove the Pulsair injection manifold and connecting pipes, ensure that the
internal bores and the cylinder head drillings are clean and free from obstructions, clean as necessary and refit.
(Emission control V8 petrol engines)
At 60.000 km (36,000 mile) intervals or every 3 years, whichever is the sooncr, all hydraulic brake fluid, seals and
flexible hoses should be renewed. all working surfaces of the master cylinder, wheel cylinders and caliper cy!inders
should be examined and renewed where necessary.
At 60.000 km (36,000 mile) intervals remove all suspension dampers, test for correct operation, refit or renew as
necessary.
Vehicles fitted with free wheeling front hubs
The hubs require no routine maintenance. When the hub bearings are adjusted, or any time the vehicle has been
used for wading, the moving parts of the free wheel hubs should be lightly smeared with Rocol 1000 grease or a
similar molybdenum disulphide bearing grease.

LUBRICATION

. ..,......

<.

This first part of the maintenance section covers


renewal of lubricating oils for the major units of the
vehicle and other components that require lubrication,
as detailed in the Maintenance schedules. Refer to the
General specification data for capacities and
recommended lubricants.
Vehicles operating under severe conditions of dust,
sand, mud and water should have the oils changed and
lubrication carried out at more frequent intervals than
that recommended in the maintenance schedules.
Draining of used oil should take place after a run when
the oil is warm. Always clean the drain and filler-level
plugs before removing. In the interests of safety
disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent the engine
being started and the vehicle moved inadvertently,
while oil changing is taking place.
Allow as much time as possible for the oil to drain
completely except where blown sand or dirt can enter
the drain holes. In these conditions clean and refit the
drain plugs immediately the main bulk of oil has
drained.
Where possible, always refill with oil of the make and
specification recommended in the lubrication charts
and from sealed containers.

NOTE: The following six instructions can only be


carried out using engine diagnostic equipment and
special tool 18G1308.
1. Start the engine, disconnect the vacuum pipe from
the vacuum unit and with the engine idling check
the dwell angle - see data. If adjustment is
required stop the engine, remove the distributor
cap, rotor arm and dust cover, slacken the fixed
contact retaining screw and using the eccentric-post
end of the special tool, as illustrated, make an
appropriate adjustment. Tighten the retaining
screw, reassemble the distributor and recheck the
dwell angle.
Check vacuum advance

NOTE: If the vacuum unit has been removed or the


distributor dismantled, the vacuum advance must be
checked and if necessary adjusted.
4. Disconnect the vacuum pipe and connect a vacuum
pump to the unit.
5. Start and run the engine at idle speed and using a
timing light, slowly increase the vacuum and note
the point at which vacuum advance starts and
compare the figure with that given in data.
6. Adjustment of the serrated cam, with the special
tool, one tooth at a time, will alter the point at
which vacuum advance starts.

Check and adjust dwell variation

NOTE: A dwell variation outside the accepted tolerance


- see data - can be caused by a mechanical fault or
wear within the distributor. This may be checked as
follows:
2. Disconnect the vacuum advance, start the engine
and increase the speed to 2000 r.p.m. A variation
outside the tolerance given in data indicates that
the distributor has a mechanical fault which cannot
be rectified by adjustment.
7. f!
the kaiiatioi; is acceptabk, reconnect the
vacuum pipe, start the engine and increase the
engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and release the
throttle. Check the dwell variation and if necessary
adjust by tuming the eccentric D post with the
special tool (female D end). Setting the dwell for
minimvin variation may alter the basic setting and
this must be rechecked at idle speed.

anti-freeze and inhibitors and to the General
specification data section for anti-freeze protection
quantities.
With a cold engine, the expansion tank should be
approximately half full.

WARNING: Do not remove the filler cap when the


engine is hot because the cooling system is pressurised
and personal scalding could result.

To remove the filler cap, first turn it anti-clockwise


a quarter of a turn and allow all pressure to escape,
before turning further in the same direction to lift it
off.
When replacing the filler cap it is important that it
is tightened down fuily, not just to the first stop.
Failure to tighten the filler cap properly may result
in water loss, with possible damage to the engine
through overheating.

//

BATTERY
Check Specific Gravity
The specific gravity of the electrolyte should be
checked using a battery hydrometer. The readings
should be as follows:
Temperate climate below 26.5C (80F) as
commissioned for service, fully charged 1.270 to 1.290
specific gravity.
As expected during normal service, three-quarter
charged 1.230 to 1.250 specific gravity.
If the specific gravity should read between 1.190 to
1.210, half-charged, the battery must be bench charged
and the electrical equipment in the car should be
checked.
Tropical climate above 26.5C (80F) as commissioned
for service, fully charged 1.210 to 1.230 specific gravity.
As expected during normal service, three-quarter
charge 1.170 to 1.190 specific gravity.
If the specific gravity should read between 1.130 to
1.150, half-charged, the battery must be bench charged
and the electrical equipment on the car should be
checked.
Check and Top-Up Electrolyte Level
1. Wipe all dirt and moisture from the battery top.
2. Remove the filler cover. If necessary add sufficient
distilled water to raise the level to the top of
separators.
Replace the filler plugs or manifold lid.
3 . Avoid the use of a naked light when examining the
ceils.
4. In hot climates it will be necessary to top up the
battery at more frequent intervals.
5. In very cold weather it is essential that the vehicle
is used immediately after topping up, to ensure that
the distilled water is thoroughly mixed with the
electrolyte. Neglect of this precaution may result in
the distilled water freezing and causing damage to
the battery.
Battery terminals
6 . Remove battery terminals, clean, grease and refit.
7 . Replace terminal screw; do not overtighten. Do
not use the screw for pulling down the terminal.
8. Do NOT disconnect the battery cables while the
engine is running or damage to alternator
semiconductor devices may occur. It 1s also
inadvisable to break or make any connection in the
alternator charging and control circuits while the
engine is running.
9. It is essential to observe the polarity of connections
to the battery, alternator and regulator, as any
incorrect connections made when reconnecting
cables may cause irreparable damage to the
semiconducto r devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a new battery is fitted to the
vehicle, it should be the same type as fitted to the vehicle
when new. Alternative batteries may vary in size and
terminal positions and this could be a possible fire
hazard if the terminals or leads come into contact with
the battery clamp assembly. When fitting a new battery
ensure that the terminals and leads are clear of the
battery clamp assembly.
